Awesome SickiesA colleague has been off work for two weeks now - apparently he's got something they can't diagnose, (although they know for sure it's not Legionnaires, Malaria, BSE or AIDS, he's supposedly in isolation). We are all sure he's merely sitting in the sun waiting for the World Cup to come on the telly.
What have you invented to get off work?

How handyI got to sit around reading my book for an hour and a half today at work without having to pull a sickie or anything.
I do data entry in a call centre, keying in information and checking records and such so the others can call people. Exciting. I do this with a couple of blokes, then there's about half a dozen phone monkeys. Today, however, at about quarter to four, we ran out of sheets to work from (they have a record number on, then a list and a load of tick boxes for things we have to check on it). It took that long for them to print off a new pile of them for us, during which time the other two went on phones and I got to doss as I'm not trained for it (and hopefully never will be, as I'm scared to death of phones. Suppose that's a bit of a tie-in with the question). On the plus side, I'll still get paid for it as the boss had already faxed my timesheet and buggered off home, being management and all. Score.
